Method

  • step 1

    You need 15 skewers: if wooden, soak in water for 10 mins. Cut chicken into 3cm pieces and place in a bowl. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, the spices, garlic and vinegar, toss well and season. You can do this up to a day before and refrigerate.

  • step 2

    Thread 2-3 pieces on each skewer. Pour remaining oil in a frying pan or rub onto a griddle pan. Get the pan hot and sear the chicken for 3-4 mins on each side – you may have to do this in batches, keeping the cooked skewers warm in a low oven. Serve with smoky aïoli if you like.

A lovely marinade for chicken (I used breast rather than thigh). The fennel gave it a really different taste to the usual herbs I use and they were delicious barbecued. The smoky aioli is a must!

tip

don't forget to take it out the oven and make sure your chicken is cooked or you might catch a case of the coronavirus

question

I am assuming that the recipe is using raw boneless, skinless chicken thighs?
